I have received 8 SalesForce.com certifications and have been using SalesForce for nearly 9 years and have learned a lot about the system. I have used it to migrate companies from past on premise systems to the cloud. I have also handled all data migrations and even moved one organization from Unlimited Edition to Enterprise Edition through setting up a new system and migrating all data. I believe in the vision in SalesForce and want to help others leverage its power.

DreamForce 2 You in London

So, for those of us living in Europe, a "quick trip" to San Francisco for DreamForce is actually quite the commitment. It involves an 8+ hour plane trip, as well as some "wicked" jet lag! So, it seems SalesForce has grown wise to this and has a new seminar/event called "DreamForce 2 You".

While they don't bring all the big artists (like Bruno Mars this year at DreamForce) or Marc Bennioff, at least not this year, they do bring many of the customer stories and high level demos of the topics discussed at DreamForce this year!

It was a great way to learn more about some of the big DreamForce announcements, including:

SalesForce Lightning - The new way you can build mobile apps, on the fly, for SalesForce1

SalesForce Wave - The new way to "visualize" data and make the reports, and the ability to drill into it (PS - Did you know that 90% of the world's data was created in the last 2 years!)

How Coca-Cola is using SalesForce Lightning

While the event isn't a DreamForce in any way, it does provide the ability to network and meeting like minded professionals which is one of the big events of going to SalesForce. If you want to see the "actual DreamForce announcements" you can just follow the SalesForce Youtube Channel! So keep your eyes out for a DreamForce 2 You event in the future! Even if you went to DreamForce, it lets you re-create that energy you had for those few days in San Francisco!
